Saturday October 10, 2009 - 1st Heat starts at 9:00am

@ CrossFit Cleveland, 17140 Madison Avenue, Lakewood, OH 44107 (216) 812-7841

If you are looking for a way to jazz up your fitness routine, give our 5K-Plus a whirl. We mix a bunch of body weight exercises in with the running to really test your mettle. You start with a 500 meter run followed by 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups & 15 squats, then you do it again 9 more times. Don’t worry if you can’t do many pull-ups or pushups, we’ll teach you variations to match your current strength and fitness level.

Sound easy? We’ll see you at the finish line and ask you again!

Prizes for top finishers and for being DFL!

Here is a 5K Plus* flyer that can be emailed to friends and co-workers or printed and posted for others to see. We would appreciate any help you can give us to promote the event.

We're looking for prize donations for the top finishers, i.e. gift certificates for local restaurants, hair salons and massage centers, etc. Please ask your favorite place to donate a prize.

The cost to participate is $15, which includes an "I Survived" T-Shirt if you sign up by this weekend. The event will be a 5K run with a bunch of bodyweight exercises mixed in to test your mettle. We'll have several 'scaled down' versions so that everyone can participate. It's a 'rain or shine' event, Crossfitters aren't afraid of a little bad weather. Remember the Kory flipping the tire in the rain video?

We hope to get some local media coverage for this event. I also have the event listed on Facebook, please share it with your friends CrossFit Cleveland 5K Plus* on Facebook
